It's the beginning of an odd era in television for everyone. Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien will be crossing the writers' strike line. The question I pose is not whether this return will be a train wreck or not. It probably will be. As for the other shows coming back in a similar vein (The Daily Show and The Colbert Report), who knows.
What I ask is, do the writers blame these guys for finally giving in, even though it was (they claim) to keep the staffs they had intact and unfired at least until the strike is resolved?
And when did employers stop using fire hoses for strikebreaking and start using underhanded, subtle tactics? The former was so much more fun.
